Project Adventure Workshops - May 2008


May is a great time to get some training...at one of our sites...or your's.
Project Adventure's Moraine Farm training site in Beverly MA (20 miles north of Boston). PA acquired Moraine Farm in the mid 1990's through the generosity and vision of Mimi and George Batchelder. The property, over 77 acres of Fredrick Law Olmsted design property, Moraine Farm in May is bursting with azalea and rhodendrum blooms, the beginnings of organic vegetable farming and the return of the birds to historic Wenham Lake.


The Moraine Farm training site offers lodging in double rooms with shared bath and meals on site. The veranda, overlooking Wenham Lake offers a great place to relax and connect with other participants in the evenings.


During the wedding season, Moraine Farm is booked to capacity by couples who love the history and beauty. A large white tent is often in place on the beautiful span of lawn overlooking the tea house.


Participants will also see "programming in action" as Moraine Farm serves thousands of groups annually through our Youth and College Programs division. A cadre of facilitators trained specifically to incorporate challenge, risk taking, and social emotional skill development into program design provide an emotionally and physically safe environment for peak, life changing moments.

The state of art challenge course features high and low elements including PA test elements and new innovations.

The Project Adventure Kids Campus in Covington GA (30 miles East of Atlanta) is another great spot to take a PA training. This campus is the headquarters for our direct service programs with youth through the Georgia Juvenile Justice programs, Youth and Family Services and public schools. Started in the 1980's but site director Cindy Simpson, Project Adventure Kids has remained an innovated, research-based practice for restraint free programming that empowers the toughest and most damaged children and youth to make long-term sustainable change for a better future.
You can also book your Youth and College Program at the Covington Site. This site also boasts a state of the art challenge course and is the host site to hundreds of programs annually.
Other workshop sites offered in May include Ithaca, NY (Cornell Outdoor Adventures) and Suffern NY (Suffern Middle School).

And of course, if you have six or more people at your site or in your area who would benefit from a PA training, we can come to you. PA facilitators are the best in the world, bringing a combination of real life work experience and intensive adventure and experiential expertise to you and your staff. Participants are wowed by their skill and depth of knowledge. Even the most resistant participant on your team is engaged through the skillfulness of the facilitator and the power of the methodology.
Project Adventure professional development is not only for schools, agencies and camps, but also for corporations and non-profit administration. Join the ranks of companies as large as Microsoft, Starbucks, BMW and Kodak or as small as the local restaurant or Chamber of Commerce who have participated in PA team development programs. A mixture of methodology is available and programs are customized to your specific needs. Select from inventories such as DiSC Personal Profile System and the Drexler-Sibbet Team Performance Model, team based initiatives and problem-solving activities or the high and low challenge course...or a combination.
Participants have called Project Adventure workshops, "the most meaningful and relevant professional development program I've participated in" and "Not often enough do I walk away from something and think, WOW, what a great experience! I did with the Adventure Programming workshop."
Hope to see YOU soon!
